1968 Nice day to play. At last!!

[Midnight Special]

...Gorgeous weekend weather and a visit from GT/CS Registrar, Mike, meant un-tarping and firing up some of our fabulous Fords for the first time in 2012! Mikes Gold CT/CS was looking and running sharp for the rare photo op. My son, TJ also chimed in with his new Beamer alongside the black CS... All in all, a fun and informative day!

Looks nice, and I'm jealous. We had snow again a couple of days ago.

Thanks for posting Tim, I had a great time. It was nice to drive the Copper CS after a few months of hybernation. Sure needed washing. I kept thinking of swapping engines with my J code coupe, but as you saw when I burned them off in your driveway, I don't think I need to. (Figured it was OK givin the other launch marks you put down) LOL.

Don't feel bad, Steve. TJ and I had "rain" withdrawals to the point of making our own today! 'Time wasted though, cuz there's more on the way...

Mike, your burnout was great! 'Just wish I was ready with the camera. By the time I snapped the picture, all the real drama was over and your car looked more like it was burning oil instead of rubber ;-)

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, Rob & Val!

Tim,
It looks like it was red day! What is next green day or blue day? I all ways wondered how you orgnized maintenance on so many cars.

...There's no real routine, Marty. Just a matter of "who needs what & when..." Today saw two oil changes, some tuning & testing and making a list of parts to get for fixes during the week prior to show. Friday will see more testing, then detailing galore!

I love the "candy" red one!!!

Tim,
Looks like it was a wonderful day. Thanks for sharing via pictures and on the phone Saturday. :wink:

I can't belive I missed this show :'-(

I haven't missed it in over 7 years until now, however, I did HAVE to go to Hawaii for the week. Missed the car show, but had a wonderful vacation and got a GREAT tan!

I promise I won't miss this show for two years in a row!!!
